Research Notes:
NAME
Margaret's name on her birth certificate consist of three parts. The first and the last "Margaret" and "Russell" are legible enough. the middle name is squashed into the second line of the column and is less clear. To the naked eye it looks like "Selanders" or possibly "Sclanders". The GRO Scotland has indexed it as "Margaret Seland Russell". 3
